Carlos Johnson, 17, has been charged in the shooting death of 15-year-old Demario Bailey. He has a bond hearing on Monday.

Police investigators say, Johnson fatally shot Demario Bailey after he came to the aid of his twin brother when robbers jumped them trying to steal a his jacket.

The brothers were walking to basketball practice at their Englewood high school.

The Chicago Tribune reports, “Carlos Johnson was arrested near the scene of Saturday’s shooting at 63rd and State streets and is a suspect in other armed robberies earlier in the day in the same area,” according to police.

Gun violence rocked Chicago for yet another weekend. Samuel Walker, 13, was fatally shot, six others wounded, Friday evening in what police have called a drive-by shooting on the city’s west side. Separately, a 3-year-old boy was among a total of 10 people shot in throughout Chicago as of Friday night. He was shot while standing outside with his mother and another male in the 4400 block of South Sacramento Avenue at about 10:10 p.m., police said.

It was a beautiful Friday evening, and members of the Nu Church Movement had arrived to set up its mobile ministry on a vacant lot in East Garfield Park neighborhood, on Lexington Street near California Avenue.

Youth on the block had flocked to the lot and joined the church group, some playing games, some in prayer, when church leader Lavieda Stewart, 24, saw from the corner of her eye, a car drive by slowly.

Five minutes later, she heard a barrage of gunshots, looked up, and saw two men standing outside that car at the corner of California, shooting.

When the gunfire was over, 13-year-old Samuel Walker was killed and six others were wounded, according to officials.

“I immediately gathered together the kids that I had,” Stewart said. “We circled together in the grass and started to pray. I was a little in shock. I’ve never seen someone shot. But because someone was fatally wounded, we decided to get the kids we brought out of here but stick around and pray with the community.”

Samuel Walker was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. He died two blocks from his home, the Sun Times reports. This latest homicide comes days after Tevin Lee, 18, was charged with two counts of murder and one count of aggravated discharge of a firearm in connection with the death of Shamiya Adams, who was shot in the head as she attended a sleepover. She was laid to rest on Saturday.

About 40 people were shot, four killed in Chicago weekend violence. At least 18 people were shot in a little more than 12 hours overnight, bringing the total to 40 since Friday afternoon, NBC News reports.

Among the victims was 11-year-old Shamiya Adams, who was gunned down inside a Chicago home during a sleepover, after a stray bullet struck her, police said.

A 24-year-old man was shot in a bar on Chicago’s Southwest Side early Sunday morning. He was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the chest.

A 21-year-old man was shot multiple times as he and a woman got into a cab in the 900 block of North Mayfield Avenue. He was later pronounced dead at the West Suburban Medical Center. A 30-year-0ld man was found dead in a car in the South Austin neighborhood. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the back, shoulder and neck.

The weekend hasn’t come to a close yet. I suspect there will be more violence in the Windy City.

11-Year-Old Shamiya Adams Dies After Being Shot in Head During Sleepover

TRAVESTY: 11-year-old Shamiya Adams died after being shot in the head during a sleepover at her best friend’s home in the 3900 block of West Gladys Avenue in Chicago.

Adams and a group of her friends were set to make s’mores during a sleepover Friday night when a bullet came through the window and struck her in the head, the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Rosemarie Jones, who hosted the sleepover, said the girls were sitting in a circle when “gunshots rang out and one came in through the window and shot one of the girls in the head.”

It is reprehensible that Shamiya Adams was gunned down at a sleepover. What is going on in Chicago? The mayor should institute Martial Law. How many more children have to die at the hands of a bunch of armed thugs before something drastic is done?

A 24-year-old pregnant woman was among three people injured in a shooting early Saturday morning in a Chicago highway shooting.

Illinois State Police said a 2008 Buick SUV broke down just before 1:30 a.m. on a southbound ramp off the Dan Ryan Expressway, when a gunman opened fired into the vehicle.

According to the Sun Times, while the broken down SUV was awaiting assistance, a black Dodge Charger with orange stripes drove up and began to shoot inside the vehicle. The 27-year-old drive of the Buick was hit four times, while two female passengers, one of them pregnant, were struck several times.

The women are listed in stable condition at a local hospital.

The highway shooting comes as two people were killed in separate shootings in the Windy City. Timothy Travis, 21, was killed in the 4900 block of West Huron Street. Tremaine Scott, 19, was killed in the 8200 block of South Princeton Avenue after he was accosted by three people, one of whom had a gun. Both murders occurred Friday night.
